MATTHEW 5:13 I have observed, just like our politicians, the church is gradually losing its influence. Ghanaian political actors are only noted for one thing; “How to gain power and use that same power to bully, intimidate and harass the very people who gave them the power”. Many traditional rulers are also losing their influence. […]
MATTHEW 5:13 “YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH, BUT IF THE SALT LOSES ITS TASTE, WHAT IS ITS VALUE?’’ Everyone influences or is being influenced by others in varying degrees. As I look back in my life, I have been influenced by so many people. My parents, teachers, friends (good and bad), classmates and […]
MATTHEW 5:3-10 The life and message of Jesus during His time on earth was simple. He exemplified humility, charity, care, love and peace. His teachings point to the transformation of the inner man, and directs us to salvation. Love becomes the motivation of the Christian. It is clear, most churches are gradually departing from the […]
HEBREWS 13:5 When I was a little boy, I was following cattle at Dasimah; (a village in the Sissala West District of the Upper West Region), a vocation most Northerners are proud of. Following cattle does not only teach one the art of bravery, but also the art of care, responsibility and leadership. My father […]
HEBREWS 13:5 Greed is a dangerous trap that destroys the lives of its victims. “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own, but how much impact you have made”. I have met, and spoken to many people in an attempt to settle one dispute or another; among […]
HEBREWS 13:5 “YOUR CONDUCT BE FREE FROM THE LOVE OF MONEY AND YOU MUST BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, FOR HE SAID, “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AND I WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU.SO WE CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE, “THE LORD IS OUR HELPER, AND I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO […]
MARK 12:30 I have always said that, Ghana is an amazing country. In Ghana, one can be passionate about anything, except to do the right thing. It’s even correct to be passionate about movies, soccer, driving on the shoulders of the road, throwing rubbish anywhere, passionate about insulting and disrespecting the elderly in society. But […]
MARK 12:30 “LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH…” The creative force behind all great things is passion. Nothing great has ever been achieved in life without passion, and nothing great is ever sustained without passion. Once a […]
MATTHEW 5:9 “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY WILL BE CALLED CHILDREN OF GOD”. About three (3) days ago, whilst praying with two colleague pastors and crying out to God about Ghana, our ministries, families and for our members and their businesses, and also the businesses of our friends and sponsors, one of them asked […]
GALATIANS 6:3 Hypocrisy to the highest apogee is when a Christian condemns one action and thinks similar actions by his friends and close associates are normal. Truth is, judgemental attitude hurts the faith. In a secular country like Ghana, freedom of worship and association are basic fundamental rights of every citizen. Unfortunately however, some Christians […]
GALATIANS 6:3 In my personal opinion, the society is a direct reflection of the behaviour of our religious leaders; especially Christianity. Nobody can underestimate the influence the church has on its members. Statistics show that, about 68% of Ghanaians are Christians. It means, wherever 100 people are gathered, about 68 of them are Christians. Christianity […]
GALATIANS 6:3 A lady in my church introduced a gentleman to me last year. They were in a relationship and intend to marry. After our initial interaction, I asked of his church, and the kind of work he does. He said he attended a particular church (name of church withheld). I had just finished a […]
